What works for him may not work for you. I prefer a stiffer spring, some prefer lighter. I notice a LOT of people come off the drivers stand and pushing their foam (steering wheel) back into place or even gluing their foam on. They ALL are gripping their wheels way to tight. I taught them to lighten up the grip on their remotes and their driving has improved significantly.

I feel that Expo is a lazy excuse for poor driving habits. I know a lot of people love expo, but I dont think it should be used as a crutch in the beginning. If you need to dial out steering in the beginning of the throw and then make up for it later you are doing something wrong at the radio.
